Regulating Urban Surface Overflow Under Climate Change

Regenerative design of drainage system based on biomimicry in Tainan

Years: September 2020

location: Tainan, Taiwan

Human face many impacts and problems under climate changes that cause the environment to become worse and worse. Flooding is the main challenge to face that a large number of Asian cities endure flooding while the climate changing and urban developing. The project aims to solve the structural problem of urban. The design strategies were learned from natural inspiration and emulate from species survival functions. Taking Tainan City and Anna District as a template for most other Asian cities, the project optimizes the drainage system to regulate urban surface overflow. The design processes the runoff during heavy rain that helps solve flooding problems and enhance the community’s sustainability.
